Star Trek: Picard “Seventeen Seconds” – Review

With Frakes at the helm, you knew that “Seventeen Seconds” was going to be 17 seconds because he’s the type of person to take these things seriously. Directed by the serial leg-cocker himself, “Seventeen Seconds” had to be the early emotional heart…

Golden Lap (PC) – Review

The age of cigarettes and cigars clouding the paddock, champagne being more than sparkling water at some races, and just before James Hunt would come and shag everything with legs. The “golden” age of F1 is something some fans fawn over to…

Keylocker (Nintendo Switch) Review

I have a love-hate relationship with action commands. I love games like Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series, but sometimes those timed action commands are an accessibility issue. I went into Moonana’s Keylocker with an open mind after playing Virgo…

Comic Book Corner: Minor Threats

After a brief hiatus, I’m back with another comic book review. This week I’ll be looking into Minor Threats, a series published by Dark Horse. This miniseries consists of two sets of four issues with the first arc titled “A Quick End…

Star Trek: Picard “Disengage” – Review

Goat Simulator was my first foray into the “Absurd Sandbox” genre, as I call it. Since then, I’ve played things like Just Die Already, and cuter offerings like Little Kitty, Big City. Now, a new contender has arrived, a nutty one you…

The Plucky Squire (PC) Review

Once in a while, you’ll find an Indie game that is truly special. These are games like Hades, Stardew Valley, Shovel Knight, Vampire Survivors, and other gems that stand out and shine amongst the masses. These are experiences that could stand up…

Smells Like a Mushroom (PC) Review

The weirder a game, the more I want to play it. This rule of thumb, which disregards quality and polish in search of something that subverts the status quo, has led to many great gaming experiences over the years, whether it’s psychedelic…

Kena: Bridge of Spirits (Xbox Series X) Review

We’re in a strange age of video gaming where some games don’t stay exclusive forever. I’m grateful that this is a growing trend, seeing as people should be able to play great games no matter where they play. Ember Lab’s Kena: Bridge…

Flowstone Saga (PC) Review

I’ve had my eye on Flowstone Saga since it came to Kickstarter a few years ago. The developers of Tangledeep (Impact Gameworks) showcased a vision of an RPG with puzzle elements that I couldn’t help but latch onto. Now, after all this…
